Theme
The spirit showed Scrooge all these scenes of the Cratchit family and Fred's conversations about Scrooge at Christmas day
to show Scrooge how does Bob Crachit's family and Fred's family think about Scrooge
At the end of the chapter the spirit showed two poor hungry children. Scrooge ask if they had a home or family. The spirit replied with the words he told to the fat gentlemen that came to his office on Christmas eve.
This made Scrooge see the reality behind his words, that he didn't realize that there were children in need when he spoke his words to the two fat gentlemen.
Conflict
External conflict
Bob Cratchit wished Scrooge a merry Christmas and so does Fred even though everyone else was against it.
They gave in as it was Christmas, but
the underlying hate was evident.
Internal conflict
Scrooge was in conflict with his previous actions when the Spirit showed him Bob and Tiny Tim.
He does not want Tiny Tim to die, which leaves him in conflict with all his previous words, like his criticisms about having too many people on Earth.
He was also shown two worn-out, underfed children. His mind about humans and the world slowly changed
as the Spirit kept using his words against him.
